The discovery and synthesis of 4,4-disubstituted quinazolinones as T-type calcium channel antagonists is reported. Based on lead compounds 2 and 3, a focused SAR campaign driven by the optimization of potency, metabolic stability, and pharmacokinetic profile identified 45 as a potent T-type Ca2+ channel antagonist with minimized PXR activation. In vivo, 45 suppressed seizure frequency in a rat model of absence epilepsy and showed significant alterations of sleep architecture after oral dosing to rats as measured by EEG.
